civic face lift grill..

**Dy_** · 23-08-2007 07:52 PM

I'm under the impression for a facelift model i cant make the mesh grill? is this correct? I did it to my car and it was easy, no problems but its a prefacelift.

Anyone know?

thanks

Hey man, the face lifted grill is a single piece, you cant modify it to make it like the mesh grill unfortunatly. The only way is to buy a facelifted mesh grill.

its possible. i've seen it done

True? I know it can be done with some cars like the ej8 and such.
All i know is with my 99 ek1 hatch, you cant actually unscrew the centre piece and replace it with mesh unfortunatly. Its a solid piece.

There was a thread about this topic, let me see if i can find it.

Working out how your going to stick the mesh onto the grill is the hard part.

im 100000000% sure i didnt saw anything off. There were some screws that screwed it to the grille. I just undid the screws.

what happened to the black part where the honda badge is?

did you just put mesh right over it?

you have to cut it out with a dremel tool.

Yep, some cars you can unscrew the centre bit, some you need to cut that bit out.

yeh you can unscrew the ej8 and facelifted ones but the pre-facelifted ones you can, but still wouldn't you need to saw the part where the honda badge is or do you guys just mesh right over it?
